My First Ribbon Wedding Cake!

My First Ribbon Wedding Cake! on Cake Central

I have only done this using pans (for a stunt cake), but this is the REAL thing! Cake is classic white cake with bakery buttercream frosting. It is filled with home-made lemon curd. The tier sizes are 12", 10", 8" and 6". The ribbon is plain satin floral ribbon 2.5" wide. I used wax paper cut to the length and width of the ribbon around each layer first (to prevent grease or raspberry bleeding), then wrapped the ribbon. I used pearl head corsage pins to hold the ribbon! It was a BIG hit! :)

how beautiful!! Did you place the corsage pins only in one place or did you you use some in the back as well?

The pins are only where you see them. Because the ribbon is almost as wide as each tier, they did not slip, so no pins were needed other than to "close"
